Sorry, I should have noted this in my previous post. I have had a Thai bank account with the needed 400,000 Thai baht for many years now.

From your posting, if I get the Non O visa here in the states, I will NOT have to show proof of onward travel to airlines and customs, if they ask? Will all airlines recognize/understand this and not ask me for an onward ticket? If so, then I should get the Non O visa here in the states.

Hi Tod, For someone who is going to move to Thailand based on being married to a Thai, is there a better of the two--to get a 90 day Non O visa based on marriage to a Thai in my country before going to Thailand or going to Thailand and getting stamped in for 60 days and going to immigration in my area and applying?

I tranferred money from my US bank to my BKK account via their New York branch earlier this year with no issues.

For my knowledge, you wrote that he would "need to have 400k baht in a thai bank account in your name only transferred in from overseas...." I have been married to a Thai lady for 11 years now, but we do not reside in Thailand as of yet. Many years ago, I opened an account at BKK in my name only and deposited the 400k--cash. Must the 400k be transferred from my bank in the states to my bkk account in Thailand or is the way I have done acceptable to all concerned parties?
